What the heck did you put in it? I love how the beam pulsates.

April fools ain't over yet?
What program did you use to put in the beam?
This prop uses a 350 milliwatt green laser for the beam - no visual effects used.
How come the first time i watched the 3rd and 4th videos there was no beam, just a green dot on the wall. Now the same video has a green beam? Also the beam is coming out crooked in some shots? Especially the second video.
a little smoke was added from a smoke machine to make the beam stand out better. No computer generated trickery was used. Actual lasers were installed by me into the props.
Where can i get one of those? Do they make any blue ones?
The laser is available from http://o-like.com/
There are a number of manufacturers out there these days.
I recommend that you go to http://laserpointerforums.com/ to learn about lasers also.
Blue Lasers (473 Nm) are very expensive to buy. Violet (or sometimes called "Blu-Ray" because of their use in Blu-Ray DVD players) is little cheaper. Green lasers (532 Nm) are easier to see and cheaper than Blue.
The power output of the lasers I have used can be dangerous to the eyes. The laser pointer forums website above discusses laser safety as well.

Thanks i will look into them. Some blue beams would be great for a PL refit. They need to be smaller though and i am guessing a little cooler than what you have there. How hot does it get?
